I applied this to for-linus with changelog as below for v4.5, thanks!

Wow, this is terrible.  All ARM32 systems that use pci_common_init()
crash at boot.  That includes cns3xxx, dove, footbridge, iopl13xx,
ip32x, iop33x, ixp4xx, ks8695, mv78xx0, orion5x, pxa, sa1100, etc.
Apparently they've been crashing since v4.0, when 7c674700098c and
8c7d14746abc appeared.  I can hardly believe nobody noticed until now.

Actually, I did find one problem report:
http://forum.doozan.com/read.php?2,17868,22070,quote=1 from last May,
but apparently it got lost in a forum and never found its way
upstream.

I reworked the changelog because this problem will affect *any* arch
that enables CONFIG_PCI_DOMAINS_GENERIC and supplies NULL "parent"
pointers -- ia64, mips, mn10300, s390, x86, etc., would be affected if
they enabled CONFIG_PCI_DOMAINS_GENERIC.

I also added a "Fixes:" tag for 7c674700098c, since that's the commit
that added the generic code we're fixing.  Backports of 7c674700098c
should also backport this change.

    PCI: Allow a NULL "parent" pointer in pci_bus_assign_domain_nr()
    
    pci_create_root_bus() passes a "parent" pointer to
    pci_bus_assign_domain_nr().  When CONFIG_PCI_DOMAINS_GENERIC is defined,
    pci_bus_assign_domain_nr() dereferences that pointer.  Many callers of
    pci_create_root_bus() supply a NULL "parent" pointer, which leads to a NULL
    pointer dereference error.
    
    7c674700098c ("PCI: Move domain assignment from arm64 to generic code")
    moved the "parent" dereference from arm64 to generic code.  Only arm64 used
    that code (because only arm64 defined CONFIG_PCI_DOMAINS_GENERIC), and it
    always supplied a valid "parent" pointer.  Other arches supplied NULL
    "parent" pointers but didn't defined CONFIG_PCI_DOMAINS_GENERIC, so they
    used a no-op version of pci_bus_assign_domain_nr().
    
    8c7d14746abc ("ARM/PCI: Move to generic PCI domains") defined
    CONFIG_PCI_DOMAINS_GENERIC on ARM, and many ARM platforms use
    pci_common_init(), which supplies a NULL "parent" pointer.
    These platforms (cns3xxx, dove, footbridge, iop13xx, etc.) crash
    with a NULL pointer dereference like this while probing PCI:
    
      Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 000000a4
      PC is at pci_bus_assign_domain_nr+0x10/0x84
      LR is at pci_create_root_bus+0x48/0x2e4
      Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init!
